La vida en Lora y la Exposicion!

Whewie, we made it! After a month of planning, painting madly and framing (gracias, Mark!), we made it to Lora del Rio and the happy residence of Jose Maria. Lora is a small, friendly pueblo with everything you need. Want a bite to eat at 1 a.m.? No problem - wander a few blocks from Jose Maria's and you find stands selling delicious plates of fish, fresh patatas fritas, ensalada and alioli - add a beer, and it'll cost you about $4.

Thanks to the friendly folks at the Ayuntamiento, including Juan (or "Cumplido" as he's known to friends), we were able to set up our show with ease. The musicians were ready to play, folks arrived, and we had a wonderful party together, in the heat of a summer evening in southern Spain (you never stop sweating). Mark and I danced one number, for added entertainment.
